File's problem

[nihho]

Hello

I wrote the registry that when double-clicking on files, written by my program, starts the program. It starts the program but I want program to read data from them. For example, MSWord files *.doc when clicked, are starting the MSWord and program automatically open that files. I looked for API but haven't found it.
Any suggestion to solv this?

I'm not 100% certain but I think when you launch a file like this the filename is sent to your program as the command line.
In that case, at the beginning of you program you could check Command$ and see if the file you double-clicked is there.

Eg;
If Command$<>"" then
OpenFile Command$
endif
